Abstract
Because mobile technologies are overtaking personal computers as the primary tools of Internet access, and cloud-based resources are fundamentally transforming the world’s knowledge, new forms of teaching and assessment are required to foster 21st century literacies, including those needed by K–12 teachers. A key feature of mobile technology applications is the integration of cloud-based resources on handheld devices supporting several computing and communication functions. Mobile technologies' unique affordances for teaching and assessment—especially automated, high-resolution, distributed data collection methods and analysis engines—can create unique distributed task environments for learning and assessment. SimSchool is an example of a computer simulation designed for teacher education that utilizes mobile computing affordances. Mobile simulation-based measurement of teacher knowledge and skills implemented in simSchool contains lessons that may be broadly applicable to other interactive and adaptive educational applications.
